In today’s episode, you’ll meet Amber Dugger, the Founder of Profit for Keeps. Amber helps entrepreneurs outgrow the grind of financial confusion, disempowerment, and isolation and grow towards more clarity, empowerment and community. If you’re an entrepreneur who’s been longing for a more simple, creative, and joyful approach to cash flow, then this episode is for you.

🌱 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How a cold piece of pizza at Amber’s cubicle desk was a moment of clarity.

• About how a  life-altering bike accident completely shifted Amber’s perspective on gratitude.

• What twists and turns Amber’s career took before she started leading the Profit for Joy movement.

• How Amber went from floundering after leaving her corporate finance job to being part of a community of entrepreneurs in Bali.

• Amber’s unique approach to money that doesn’t ignore our behaviors or emotions [that we all wish would’ve been taught in school!]

• The inspirational phrase that was written on a card Amber carried with her everywhere the first five years of her business.

• What I learned from Amber’s Profit for Keeps approach and how it’s positively impacted both my life and business.

• Amber’s approach to giving and service that also includes you as the owner of the business, not just your clients and the causes you care about.

• How to create financial goals that incorporate you, your business, and your big dreams.

• How profit for joy is about fulfilling our own desires AND putting money in the places where we want to see impact.

• How becoming more empowered around your finances can be creative and joyful!

• How being a 7th generation New Mexican influences which trees and flowers Amber most loves.

• Your reflection question: What would be possible if you proceeded as if success was inevitable?

I'm so excited to introduce you to Seema Sodha, Canadian Indian leadership and executive coach, heart centered facilitator, women's circle holder, and writer. In this conversation, Seema shares about how easily creative endeavors can turn into the grind, especially when we’re looking for answers outside of ourselves.

🌱 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The story of how I first met Seema and what an honor and delight it is to co-create with her.

• What household object the texture of “the grind” reminds Seema of.

• How Seema’s rigid writing regimen got her more words on the page but missed the heart and soul. 

• The messages we receive about productivity and action that can get especially loud when we create something new.

• How Seema shifted her approach to bring more of herself and her unique taste into her writing.

• The beautiful way Seema engages her senses and self-trust when she writes.

• How trusting ourselves is an important part of taking our power back, and how it’s a nonlinear process.

• What external forces make it easy for us to hand our power over to someone else and not trust ourselves.

• How Seema sees the moments we realize we’re in the grind as an invitation.

• How sharing your truth and connecting with others is an antidote to the sneakiness of the grind that wears us down.

• About our upcoming women’s circle where we’ll help you explore and befriend your inner good girl / people pleaser.

• The two herbs from Seema’s garden that transform her week.

• Reflection question: Bring to your heart or mind the thing that you're creating right now. How can you bring more of you [and your own unique flavor] into it?

🌱 Seeds planted in this episode:

• Reach out to Seema here. You can also find her on Instagram, Substack, or LinkedIn.

• Learn about and join our women’s circle (co-led by Seema and me!) on September 10th: Befriend You Inner Girl.
